SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 - Authorizes that any person who is licensed to practice as a physician, physician's assistant, massage therapist, physical therapist, chiropractor, dentist, optometrist, nurse, nurse practitioner, certified athletic trainer, or podiatrist in another state or territory, who is in good standing in such state or territory and who has been appointed by the New York Road Runners to provide professional services at an event in this state sanctioned by the New York Road Runners, may provide such professional services to athletes and team personnel registered to train at a location in this state or registered to compete in an event conducted under the sanction of the New York Road Runners in the state without first being licensed pursuant to the provisions of title 8 of the education law.

JUSTIFICATION: There are not enough health care professionals available, within the state of New York, to meet the needs of participants in events sanctioned by the New York Road Runners.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately and shall expire and be deemed repealed January 31, 2015.
